Pritzker bashes Trump order on birthright citizenship: 'We will not follow an unconstitutional order'
Pritzker said Illinois will not follow Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship

National Border Patrol Council Vice President Art Del Cueto joins 'Fox & Friends' to react to President Trump signing executive actions declaring a national emergency and securing the southern border.

Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker bashed President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants.

"That’s unconstitutional. We will not follow an unconstitutional order," Pritzker told reporters on Monday while speaking at an unrelated event, Politico reported.

Trump's order, "Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship," asserts that the 14th Amendment of the Constitution does not automatically confer American citizenship to individuals who are born within the United States.


The amendment states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Jelly Belly is running for President in 4 years.  The Prickster needs the face time in the press.  Look for his fat ass to be popping up all over like a boil on a sweaty fat kid.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Tomorrow at 10am local time in Seattle there is a MASSIVE legal hearing on Trump's Birthright Citizenship Executive Order.

This is the most important thing happening in the country.

We need ALL EYES and attention on this.

Birthright citizenship has been wrongly applied and no President has had the courage to fix it until President Trump.

Even with birthright citizenship, there is no right extended to the parents.  If someone illegally enters the country and gives birth on US soil, that person still has no legal right to stay.  Said parent can still be prosecuted, convicted, incarcerated, and permanently deported.  And if they choose to surrender parental rights to a relative back home, then their US citizen baby can grow up wherever their parents came from.  Just remember that in 18 years when they begin to work, they as US citizens will be required to send the US federal taxes on their foreign income back to the US Treasury just as every other US citizen is compelled to do.  And if they don't, charge them with tax evasion.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

BREAKING: A federal judge in Seattle has blocked, temporarily, President Donald Trump’s attempt to rescind birthright citizenship to illegals, per AP.

He called it “blatantly unconstitutional.”

Now, the Supreme Court will settle this.
